Beauty products giant Dove is facing calls for a boycott after it partnered with a morbidly obese Black Lives Matter activist and hate hoaxer who wrecked a white University of Virginia student’s life over a “racist” comment that she later acknowledged was “misheard” in the latest example of a major corporate brand that has been burned by wokeness.
Apparently, the geniuses in Dove’s marketing department were unaware of the backlash that cost Bud Light and Target billions of dollars in market value earlier this year when they rolled out Zyahna Bryant for a “fat liberation” campaign despite her history of making false racial accusations.

Just opened a bar of their soap last night, it is going in the garbage, and I will not buy another of their products ever.

Talk about a speed bump…she’s a road block! What were they thinking about over at Dove? Some people can’t leave well enough alone. If something works, don’t try to change it. This is typical progressive thinking from young MBA’s in marketing who don’t know how to wipe their…!

These corporations need to get their stuff together and realize that it is the general public that keeps them in business. They are in business to keep their shareholders happy; not to go in cahoots with off-the-wall groups.

Good reason to boycott another woke company.

When I was in Engineering school, the joke was that it was really 'pre-Business Administration', as all the people who flunked the beginning Engineering courses -the hardest course of study at the university- switched over to Business Administration -the easiest course of study- to get their grades back up into 'passing' status.
Hmmm.... that tells us something about the mental ability of the people who were to go on to become Business Administrators -managers- at many companies.
Not exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Is it any wonder that so many of them have not figured out the truth of that saying,
"Get Woke, Go Broke"?

Game on. My wife said she won't buy anything connected to Dove. "Fat liberation?" This girl needs a diet and exercise regimen to "liberate" her from the couch and fridge.

I love Dove. Have used it for years. Have several bars stocked. I will not buy another one. Using this woman to sell soap has to be one of the dumbest advertising mistakes every made. They need to start recording these meetings so we can have a good laugh.

What the hell? Have they hired that woman that torched the Bud Light brand. Do they not realize that pissing off half your customers is good business? What are they teaching in business schools these days?

Contact Unilever, Dove's parent, and tell them what you think about this BLM radical being their new spokesperson:

What is with the advertising world? First they thought we loved single parents. Then it was mixed race marriages and families. Then it was gays sucking face on their commercials. Now we are supposed to be enamored with fat black women? There sure have been a lot of them around lately. I hope the 1% of the population that likes that sort of thing are spending a lot of money with them.

She does know it is the bar soap Dove and not the ice cream Dove, correct?

I am almost out of my bottle of Dove body wash and will never buy the brand again. I had a friend who was overweight. She gradually became morbidly obese. She walked with a cane, then a crutch, then a walker and finally had to use a scooter. She got leg ulcers and decubitus sores that wouldn't heal. She died way too young all because she would not stop eating. As my grandfather used to say; "she dug her grave with her fork"

A poster child for the word, "Fugly" is not going to do anything for an alleged beauty product. Prepare to suffer bigly in the soap market.

The student who was maligned should now sue the s&%t out of that woman since she is now pulling in an obscene amount of money.

The Dove crew has to be pretty stupid to alienate about half of their customers.

She must use the whole bottle of Dove Body Soap in one shower.
Sadly, there are a lot of folks in her shape, they lives will be cut short because of the fork.
They really need our prayers.

She can peacefully be fat all day long, no harm to anyone but herself (See that "pursuit of happiness" thing). Dove can target ads at anybody who uses soap - why not? BUT hiring a racist hoaxer who incited a lynching? Screw her and anyone depraved enough to associate with her.
